Save the journalist!
As newspapers (and other journalism organizations) shed staff there is untold expertise that is being put out on the street. Some of these experts will transition into communications and other fields that take advantage of their skills and knowledge, while others will make complete career shifts or retire. There are untold opportunities to organize these individuals in such a way as to preserve their journalistic experiences to benefit other sectors and society as a whole, say through non-profits, education, etc. Some smart minds are getting on the task. Romenesko reports that NBC correspondent Dan Abram’s is starting a consulting firm:
Dan Abrams’ firm, Abrams Research, will connect media experts with businesses that need strategic advice, reports Brian Stelter. Journalists and bloggers retained and paid by the firm will consult with corporations, conduct media training sessions, or conduct investigative reporting for corporate clients.
